In Aging Cell, researchers have described how an age-related deficiency in another compound leads the antioxidant FoxO1 to contribute to bone deterioration in osteoporosis by siphoning from a bone-building pathway. A harmful antioxidant? Because they fight against harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidants, both external and internal, are normally viewed as having positive effects against...

A recent review in the Journal of Ovarian Research summarizes current knowledge of the impact of various polyphenols on different aspects of ovarian aging. The researchers discuss that polyphenol supplementation could be used as an intervention to delay ovarian aging [1]. Every woman’s problem Ovarian aging and cessation of proper ovarian functioning precede aging in...

Reseachers publishing in Antioxidants have combined three antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds and tested their effects in human beings. Three complementing choices The first component the researchers included was AM3, a compound that is core to the Inmunoferon supplement and is an immunomodulator that has been found in trials to aid against infections [1]. Some prior...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published a potential method of ameliorating disc degeneration that focuses on the cells living in a low-oxygen environment within the discs. Living on low oxygen Yesterday, we discussed how an antioxidant compound was found to alleviate intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD). This related paper focuses on a tissue that is already...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published detailed information on why the antioxidant pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), which is known to be safe in humans, alleviates age-related disc degeneration in mice. A return to antioxidants Oxidative stress was once considered to be the core of aging, a concept that has since been supplanted by more detailed and...

In Aging, researchers have published negative results on the long-term use of methylene blue and mitoquinone (MitoQ), two popular antioxidants, to sustain bone health in mice. Oxidative stress and bone health Previous work has found that oxidative stress, which is commonly associated with age-related disease and damage, is related to bone diseases. Substantial amounts of...
